This is fantastic! Explains why it always sounds so odd.

Yes! Most of them just look incredibly awkward or as an excuse to show women’s bodies. I’ve seen a few decent ones but they’re rare. I’m not against nudity in film in general, but I so very rarely see it done appropriately. And showing more diverse body types would also help. 

Does anyone else think that maybe he tells stories the way he does with quoting conversations so that he can remind us that people call him sir and convince us that Melania calls him darling? He so badly wants everyone to believe that he is worthy of respect and admiration that he will take any opportunity to make…

I am a huge historical costume nerd but have never watched GOT because of the sexploitation and excessive reliance on rape. I wish someone would make an edited version. 

Yep. I have a cousin who has 12 kids. My brother said something about dinosaurs one time and cousin’s response was to suspiciously say “that sounds like evolution talk”. He’s one of 9 siblings who all have the same life, he’s just older so has a headstart on the breeding. All the girls wear head coverings, long…

Same, although some days it’s more like 2/3.

Normally I can’t stand hearing his voice or watching him speak, but that is something I would watch.

Where is there only a 6 hour workday? I want to move there. 

I’m a little excited about all the Canadian Content. 

Chiming in to say that not being attracted to anyone else when you’re in love with someone is a trait not unique to LW1. I’m the same way. Even if I try to fantasize about someone else (cause I thought it was weird that I don’t), it always ends up reverting back to my partner. The most I can get to is “that person…

The only reason we (Canada) look less racist and authoritarian is because there are less of us so it shows up on a smaller scale. That and the corporate takeover and privatisation of services isn’t quite as far along up here, but conservative governments are working on catching up on that front. 

Yes! I’m also sick of women still being almost exclusively celebrated because of their looks. J Lo is ridiculously charming and comes across as really warm. I’m sure she has many other great qualities too - I don’t actually know much about her - but of course she feels enormous pressure to stay looking the same when…

Thank you! The Liberals are a lot closer to the conservatives than most people want to admit. And even though I recognize the NDP are less likely to win, I’d rather see them get more seats and then hopefully continue to gain more power than this endless shit show. I’d love to know how many of the people who voted…

Jameela’s description of body neutrality is terrible. I’ve seen it elsewhere as the idea that your body is an instrument, not an ornament. You don’t exist to be looked at and you have value because of all the other qualities that make you who you are. You don’t need to think of yourself as beautiful or focus your life…

I’ve seen the idea called body neutrality elsewhere, and be much better described. It’s more of a pushback on the idea that women’s primary worth is in their looks. So the focus is on seeing your body as an instrument and not an ornament, and as only one of your many good and important attributes rather than the only…

Everything I’ve seen elsewhere calls it body neutrality, and the idea is that you’re worth more than you’re body and you can feel your own value whether or not you think of yourself as beautiful.

I have resting sad face, apparently. It’s turned a bit towards bitch as I get older which is great, because resting sad face seems to attract it’s own special brand of creeper.

This is very similar to how cigarettes were marketed. Tobacco companies hired Edward Bernays - considered the father of PR/marketing and propaganda - to expand their market. He put out a bunch of ads associating cigarettes with suffragettes describing them as torches of freedom. He also started the first ads implying…

Exactly! Watch the famous clip of her and the Wells Fargo guy. Then compare that to Biden’s public speaking lately. The idea that Biden would do well in a debate while Warren wouldn’t makes absolutely no sense. 

Don’s got quite the death grip on her hand too.
